Waking Up to Me
Embracing Dawn: A Journey of Longing and Love
Lyrics
It's been a long, cold, cold night
Expressing that the night has been long and cold.
It's three in the morning
It's 3 AM.
And I'm driving
The singer is driving.
With one broken headlight
The car has a broken headlight.
On the radio storm warnings
There are storm warnings on the radio.
And I'm calling just to tell you
The singer is calling someone to share something.
But you will not believe
The person being called might not believe what the singer has to say.
That come sunrise
By sunrise, something significant will happen.
When your eyes are wide open
The listener will have their eyes wide open in the morning.
You'll be waking up to me
The listener will wake up thinking of the singer.
I got a waitress at the table
The singer is at a restaurant with a waitress.
With one coffee, one shot
Ordering one coffee and one shot of something.
I threw them back and weighed my options I've got an aching
The singer is contemplating options and feeling emotional pain.
Baby aching to drive on back
Expressing a strong desire to return.
But it's snowing clear to Virginia
There's heavy snowfall, making travel difficult.
I am calling just to tell you
The singer is calling someone again.
But you will not believe that I'd drive all night
The person being called might not believe the singer would travel extensively.
Half across this country
Driving a long distance across the country.
To feel you wrap your arms around me
The singer wants the listener to hold them when they reunite.
Around me
Reiterating the desire for physical closeness.
Out on the highway lately
The highway journey lacks communication.
The miles, they don't talk back
Miles on the road don't offer conversation.
They roll beneath the wheels behind me
The distance is covered without interaction.
It's a toll road winding you give time
Time passes on the road, but it cannot be reclaimed.
But you never get time back
Time lost while traveling.
Hey, if you love me
The singer needs reassurance of love.
I need reminding
Wanting reminders of affection.
I am calling just to tell you
Repeating the act of calling someone.
But you will not believe that come sunrise
Emphasizing that the person might not believe the singer's intentions.
When your eyes are wide open
Anticipating the listener waking up to thoughts of the singer.
You'll be waking up to me
Reiterating the idea that the listener will awaken with thoughts of the singer.
